AI summary: Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a Proof-of-Work Layer 1 blockchain cryptocurrency and the original un-forked continuation of the Ethereum chain, traded under ticker $ETC. ETC's 28% weekly surge from $6.10 to a $9 high was driven by the SolCex listing, Binance Locked Savings addition (5% APR), BTC breaking above $72K, and viral treasury-buyback/$2.7B short-squeeze claims that pushed market cap back above $1.24B. However, with 24h volume ($60.6M) lagging the weekly average and the coin briefly ranking #2 daily loser (-10.9%), profit-taking on thin cross-exchange depth has dragged price back to $7.90 — traders are now watching the $7.38 VWAP support zone for the next leg.
